A smoker with 40 years of experience had a huge bulla removed from his lung.
A Barnaul resident was bothered by chest pains. At the clinic, the man was suspected of having an air build-up and was sent for a CT scan. There they found a 16-centimeter-long bulla - the air sac had already compressed the lung.
The bubble wall could explode at any moment, even from a cough, and the man would suffocate! But he didn't listen to the doctors and went home. Still, a week later, the man was forced to return due to unbearable pain.
Surgeons Daria Shubina and Anton Sedov operated on the Barnaul resident. The anatomy of the lung was restored, and now the man promises to stop smoking. trainer!
